These people still feel a sense of righteousness every time they kneel. The source of the division comes from THEM. Not the other side. They ignited it while they had countless other platforms to use instead of disrespecting the flag. I honestly feel this has actually subconsciously deteriorated my interest in pro football.

Is Trump wrong for saying these guys should be given suspensions? The people who pay all of their salaries are PISSED, the number one reason people get fired, yet, liberals will cry racism. I’m seriously sick of this bull****. Everything is racist and sexist. It used to be funny. Now it’s just sad. The country needs to bury this stupid crap and quickly put it behind us.

People are too self interested though so I don’t see the end in sight. I don’t believe anyone does. This entire thing is a massive killjoy.

Maybe the players should go on strike. The players are the ones who make the money for the NFL. It’s just astonishing to me that the fans refuse to acknowledge what the kneeling is all about. But, who cares, the same folks wanted the status quo in 1861, in 1965 and again in 2018.

Are we going to keep talking in circles? The people who are against it KNOW what it’s about. It’s the platform that they have used it for that doesn’t sit right. Not to mention it’s lazy and not impressive at all.

Like many of us, NFL players are employees........private sector workers employed to increase Company profitability. Without question, their actions are turning off many fans (customers) and reducing revenue. No Owner should tolerate a player that loses them money.

I'm going to break this down another way. They have every right to protest, but not on company time. More whites are killed by cops every year than blacks. Now I realize that is not all that they are protesting. Why doesn't anyone talk about the fact that if you are white you are 2 times more likely to be killed by a black person than visa versa.

My point is there are injustices everywhere. Don't protest during the anthem!

All these clowns didn't protest crap on their summer off. I didn't see them marching anywhere...

I wish they would. The whole crap show can fold up and go away, wouldn't change my life one bit. College, high school and little league football is where it's at.

Wasn't there something like 13 blacks killed and 30 something people shot in Chicago just last weekend alone? Black on black btw.

Yes... and out of the 2,870 blacks murdered in 2016, 2,570 were killed by other blacks, 243 blacks were killed by whites. Out of the 3,499 whites that were killed in that same year, 2,854 were killed by whites and 533 were killed by blacks......despite being only 12% of the population.

If I understand correctly these may not be the actual stats for the USA just the best we have right now. If my understanding is correct the FBI depends on local agencies sending in the information and not all of them do comply as it is voluntary as I understand it, or send in all of the information needed.

It is probably an ok approximation just thought I would mention it.

Yes, it is the best info currently available. The numbers could be skewed one way or the other based on input from local jurisdictions.
